Nikephoros's policies cause uproar in the Empire, the repossesion of fallow monasic lands for cultivation, the new taxes a poor harvest that has caused the price of bread to soar ridiculously in the City all add to public discontent. When the local male populace attend the Hippodrome a rumour is spread that the Empire has ordered random killings to take place. During the games the Emperor gives a signal for his armed gaurds* to enter the circus and this causes mass panic amoung the spectators who rush to the nearest exits to escape; few do, most are crushed in the melee. As well as the other repurcusions, these serious disturbances cause much loss to the treasury...*The gaurds may well have been brought in to stage a military show or mock battle for added entertainment and moral boosting, ironically this event caused the opposite effect.

Luidprand as a representative of the, in Roman eyes, jumped-up 'Western Empire' did not recieve a warm reception in the Boukolion palace. As for Luidprand's opinion of the Emperor Nikephoros here is an extract '...He is a monstrosity of a man, a dwarf, with a broad flat head and tiny eyes like a mole; disfigured by a short thick grizzled beard; disgraced by a neck scracely an inch long; piglike by reason of the big close bristles on his head (my note-bristles as in brushed back); in colour an Abbysinian...'

However Ionnes decides to send his most loyal and ablest general, Bardas Skleros, to deal with this rebellion with express orders to bribe the rebels rather than combat them after all the Empire needs as many troops as it can muster to fight its real enemies...Bardas Phokas is eventually caught and exiled to the island of Chios in the Aegean sea. (If playing the Romans you shoyuld use the Roman General unit that has appeared in Nea Roma and march him as quickly as possible to deal with this rebellion.)
